Chapter 38 The Battle Between Monsters and Ophelia's Departure [Please Read]
Rebecca skillfully peeled off the gray fur of the Night Shadow Wolf.
She wrapped the claws and canine teeth in it, tied them into a bundle and slung them across her back.
She had a white crystal necklace hanging around her neck, which absorbed the magic power that escaped after the monster died.
The relevant spoils will be distributed afterwards, after all, there is Ophelia in the team.
The three of them gathered together, leaning against a huge oak tree, using the bushes to hide their bodies.
"Now we should decide whether we should continue to move forward or return the same way."
Hearing her words, Rebecca couldn't help but look at Chen Xuan.
And Ophelia immediately added seriously.
"If it's just for experience, then we should stop here."
"Even if it's a newly born micro-cave, there are at least dozens of monsters wandering around it."
"This is not a problem that our temporary three-person team can solve."
Her words made sense, and Chen Xuan nodded in agreement.
Unlike being alone, the most terrifying monsters are in groups.
"You're right..."
"Then let's retreat."
The kitten girl had no objection to this, and Ophelia also buckled her quiver.
Just as the three of them stood up and prepared to pack their luggage, a loud and fierce cry came from the northeast.
"Cry!"
The cry was quite powerful, and the birds in the forest were startled and flew away.
Then the sharp cry continued to resound above the woods.
It was initially estimated that the source of the sound was only a few hundred meters away from them at most.
Rebecca bent her knees slightly, jumped up, climbed up the big oak tree, and soon came to the top of the tree and looked towards the source of the sound.
About half a minute later, she slid down the gap between the trees.
She looked a little serious.
Looking at the expectant eyes of Chen Xuan and Ophelia, she reported in a hurried tone.
"Two flying monsters are fighting in the air..."
"They are fighting close to the treetops, and the black magic circle around them makes it difficult to see clearly.
"There are more monsters fighting below, because I vaguely saw wooden spears thrown into the air."
The experienced Ophelia frowned immediately.
"Monster fighting?"
"That's a very rare situation."
"But it's not without precedent."
"Maybe the monsters are fighting for the newborn cave!"
Chen Xuan listened attentively and repeated softly.
"Demon seeds?"
Ophelia, who was standing in the front, looked at the direction of the sound source and nodded slowly.
"Yes, demon seeds are essential materials for the advancement of the cave."
"This kind of peculiar magic carrier usually appears with the birth of the cave."
"They maintain the stability of the passage of the monster cave,"
"Low-level demon seeds can merge with each other to become higher-level demon seeds. "
"In addition, monsters can also obtain new monster species through special sacrifices."
She knows much more about this than the little cat girl.
"I see..."
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows, as if thinking about something.
At this time, Ophelia put away her distant gaze and turned back to his side.
"If a monster hunter sees this situation, he will definitely be ecstatic."
"Let's go."
"Monster hunter, what is that?"
Faced with Ophelia's urging, Chen Xuan did not move his steps, but asked curiously.
The eldest lady trainer, who was already accustomed to popularizing science to novices, explained casually,
"Those guys always hide their own strength, refuse to upgrade their ranks, and like to take on investigation orders, explore new caves, and wait for opportunities to seize monster species."
"Wait, you don't want to?"
She suddenly thought of a possibility and turned to look at Chen Xuan with an incredible look.
"Yes, I plan to take a look. "
"Dear Miss Ophelia, you don't have to come with me."
"Go back, I have Rebecca to accompany me."
"If we don't return to the farm, then..."
"I'll wait for you at Qingbaiye Street in the West District at the third or fourth water clock of the next Naroya day."
"Let's talk about Xiao Tianshui, the transaction of 'Monster Happy Saw', and the distribution of the spoils just now..."
The internal strife of monsters is a rare scene. Chen Xuan is going to take the little cat girl to see it.
With [Cross-border] and [Time Stop] as trump cards, he can run away at any time.
"This is crazy!"
"Damn it, I don't care about this little spoils!"
Ophelia turned her eyes to the little cat girl Rebecca, trying to see some reason on her face.
But Rebecca Mirui looked calm and stood firmly beside Chen Xuan.
"You two crazy people, you are really a perfect match!"
"This lady will not play with you! "
She seemed a little exasperated, because Chen Xuan and the little cat girl's behavior made her feel unreasonable.
This situation is also normal.
You are not a hanger-on, how can you know the joy of hangers-on?
Ophelia snorted several times in anger, and finally decided to leave alone.
But before leaving, she took out a soft liquid ball wrapped in a thick film from the storage bag on her waist and placed it in the palm of the little cat girl's hand.
"Take it, this is a liquid ball extracted from the stinky agave!"
"If you are surrounded by inferior monsters, crush it!"
"This thing can have the effect of dispelling the stench of monsters!"
"It's a reward for your little sweet water..."
"I'm leaving. I hope you can return safely!"
After Ophelia finished speaking, she shook off the coat that covered her body and left in the direction she came from.
Chen Xuan and the others watched the beast tamer leave, and then headed in the direction where the monsters were suspected to be fighting.
...
More than ten minutes later.
On her way back, Ophelia was holding the can left after drinking the sweet water, and walking quickly in the woods.
"This can should be made of metal, right?"
"But it's very light."
She pondered in her mind, took out a knife and gently scraped off the coating on the surface. She saw the silver-gray metal powder scraped off from the inside, and she was stunned.
"Is this...aluminum?"
"The last time the Baron hosted a banquet, he showed off the set of aluminum tableware..."
"It is said that the steps required for refining are more complicated than those for magic mithril!"
"Damn it, Chen Xuan must not die!"
"I knew that guy's bloodline and origin were unusual!"
"His appearance is completely different from those dirty men in the city!"
Ophelia hurriedly and carefully put the can into the storage bag, and was about to turn around to chase Chen Xuan.
Suddenly, a stiff and rough greeting came from the opposite side.
"Hey, half-elf woman?"
"Where are the human and catwoman who entered the forest with you before?"
The wild boar Ragnar put the hand holding the magic disk behind his back and asked with interest.
It was walking out of a bush with a double-edged axe in one hand.
The ugly scarred face looked very hideous in the shadow of the forest.
But Ophelia was not afraid, she had a lot of trump cards with her.
"Mind your own business."
"Go your own way!"
She rolled her eyes and said mercilessly, and ran towards the forest to the west, intending to confuse Ragnar.
When she completely disappeared in the forest, Ragnar showed a sneer.
He raised his hand and looked at the light mark on the magic disk, and walked firmly towards the north-east direction.
...
I think everyone should know the aluminum stalk?
In history, the price of aluminum products was even higher than gold.
This is because the cost of making aluminum at that time exceeded the cost of gold mining.
The development focus of the other world is different from that of the blue planet, and it cannot avoid the limitations of preparation technology, so the situation of rare things is expensive.
A simple kind of magic cannot replace electrochemical refining.
Later, maybe the protagonist will pull up an alchemist team.
Let the alchemists feel the charm of the periodic table.
